DIY Origami Ornaments Make Beautiful Christmas Party Decorations

December 19, 2015 by Dana Hinders

origami ornaments

If you’re on the hunt for inexpensive yet stunning handmade party decorations that will continue to add charm to your space long after the event is over, these origami ornaments are a fantastic choice! Not only are they budget-friendly, but they also have a sophisticated elegance that will make them stand out. What I love most about these ornaments is the beautiful color scheme and the added touch of metallic beaded tops, which give them a refined, high-end look that’s perfect for any occasion.

Making these origami ornaments is a simple yet rewarding project. To create each ornament, you’ll need two sheets of origami paper, liquid glue, a paintbrush, thread, and beads. The materials are easily accessible, and once you’ve got everything together, you can start folding your paper into beautiful shapes. The process is enjoyable and allows for a lot of creativity, so you can mix and match colors and designs to fit the theme of your event or simply to suit your personal style.

These ornaments aren’t just for parties either—once the event is over, they can be displayed in your home as a unique, handmade keepsake that reminds you of the good times. They can be hung on the wall, draped across a mantel, or even used as a part of your holiday decorations. Plus, they make wonderful, thoughtful gifts for friends and family members who appreciate handmade artistry.

To guide you through the creation process, All Things Paper offers detailed instructions, including helpful video tutorials to make sure you can follow along every step of the way. Whether you’re an origami pro or a beginner, these ornaments are a fun and rewarding way to add a personal touch to your celebration.

. You’ll need two sheets of origami paper, liquid glue, a paintbrush, thread, and beads for each ornament you wish to make. Visit All Things Paper for complete instructions, including video tutorials.

Book Review: The Festival of Lights

As if Diwali weren’t colorful and fun enough, The Festival of Lights: A Lift-the-flap Diwali Celebration by Namita Moolani Mehra, illustrated by Darshika Varm, makes it even more fun to read about with flaps and things to lift and pull to see more information or details in the illustrations. 

The book is a story about a family getting ready for Diwali and what happens on the different days of the five-day celebration. There’s cleaning, shopping, crafting, food preparation and getting the home altar ready for the big day. 

It covers decorating the outside of the house with rangoli, diyas and lanterns, buying sweets to share with family and friends, the sights and scents of the mandir (home temple), getting dressed up in new fancy clothes, the story of Diwali and celebrations with relatives.  

Flaps (there are more than 140 in all) give you vocabulary words for different foods and definitions, as well as fun things like what’s inside the shopping basket or where the cat is hanging out. They also help illuminate the story of Diwali, which is the triumph of good over evil as Lord Ram defeated the demon Ravana to save his wife, Sita. 

This pretty and colorful book helps kids understand what Diwali is and how it is celebrated, regardless of whether they practice it at home. This would be a nice book to keep in a classroom (it’s rated for kids ages 3-7) or to have at home to teach kids about Diwali even if it’s not something you celebrate. Where I live there are a lot of people from India so we are probably exposed to Diwali more than some other regions of America, but it’s a nice holiday to know about wherever you live. 

Combine with the book Diwali and check out some fun lantern crafts and printables for kids to round out your experience. 

About the book: 24 pages, hardcover, published 2025 by Wide Eyed Editions. Suggested retail prices $22.99.
